The purpose of the study was to find out what is the relationship between pain perception and personality traits in a group of children (N = 34, age M = 10,49; SD = 1,33) and adolescents (N = 28, age M = 14,26; SD = 1,18) with abdominal pain and headache of psychogenic origin. Three methods were applied according to the age of examined subjects: CPQ, HSPQ and VT-PPQ versions A, C. The obtained results indicate that this relationship mainly refers to certain temperamental traits and emotional state. This relationship manifests itself in adolescents more that in children.
